Assigning numerical scores to linguistic expressions
(MDPI, 2017) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Falcó Díaz de Cerio, Edurne; García Lapresta, José; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
In this paper, we study different methods of scoring linguistic expressions defined on a finite set, in the search for a linear order that ranks all those possible expressions. Among them, particular attention is paid to the canonical extension, and its representability through distances in a graph plus some suitable penalization of imprecision. The relationship between this setting and the classical problems of numerical representability of orderings, as well as extension of orderings from a set to a superset is also explored. Finally, aggregation procedures of qualitative rankings and scorings are also analyzed.

An axiomatic approach to finite means
(Elsevier, 2018) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Candeal, Juan Carlos; García Catalán, Olga Raquel; Giarlotta, Alfio; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
In this paper we analyze the notion of a finite mean from an axiomatic point of view. We discuss several axiomatic alternatives, with the aim of establishing a universal definition reconciling all of them and exploring theoretical links to some branches of Mathematics as well as to multidisciplinary applications.

Binary relations coming from solutions of functional equations: orderings and fuzzy subsets
(World Scientific Publishing Company, 2017) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Miguel Turullols, Laura de; García Catalán, Olga Raquel; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Abrísqueta Usaola, Francisco Javier; Automatika eta Konputazioa; Matematika; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Automática y Computación; Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
We analyze the main properties of binary relations, defined on a nonempty set, that arise in a natural way when dealing with real-valued functions that satisfy certain classical functional equations on two variables. We also consider the converse setting, namely, given binary relations that accomplish some typical properties, we study whether or not they come from solutions of some functional equation. Applications to the numerical representability theory of ordered structures are also furnished as a by-product. Further interpretations of this approach as well as possible generalizations to the fuzzy setting are also commented. In particular, we discuss how the values taken for bivariate functions that are bounded solutions of some classical functional equations define, in a natural way, fuzzy binary relations on a set.

Decomposition and arrow-like aggregation of fuzzy preferences
(MDPI, 2020) Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
We analyze the concept of a fuzzy preference on a set of alternatives, and how it can be decomposed in a triplet of new fuzzy binary relations that represent strict preference, weak preference and indifference. In this setting, we analyze the problem of aggregation of individual fuzzy preferences in a society into a global one that represents the whole society and accomplishes a shortlist of common-sense properties in the spirit of the Arrovian model for crisp preferences. We introduce a new technique that allows us to control a fuzzy preference by means of five crisp binary relations. This leads to an Arrovian impossibility theorem in this particular fuzzy setting.

Decomposition of fuzzy relations: an application to the definition, construction and analysis of fuzzy preferences
(MDPI, 2023) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE
In this article, we go deeper into the study of some types of decompositions defined by triangular norms and conorms. We work in the spirit of the classical Arrovian models in the fuzzy setting and their possible extensions. This allows us to achieve characterizations of existence and uniqueness for such decompositions. We provide rules to obtain them under some specific conditions. We conclude by applying the results achieved to the study of fuzzy preferences.

Extensions of orders to a power set vs. scores of hesitant fuzzy elements: points in common of two parallel theories
(MDPI, 2024-08-13) Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Munárriz Iriarte, Ana; Sara Goyen, Martín Sergio; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
We deal with two apparently disparate theories. One of them studies extensions of orderings from a set to its power set. The other one defines suitable scores on hesitant fuzzy elements. We show that both theories have the same mathematical substrate. Thus, important possibility/impossibility results concerning criteria for extensions can be transferred to new results on scores. And conversely, conditions imposed a priori on scores can give rise to new extension criteria. This enhances and enriches both theories. We show examples of translations of classical results on extensions in the context of scores. Also, we state new results concerning the impossibility of finding a utility function representing some kind of extension order if some restrictions are imposed on the utility function considered as a score.

Geometrical aggregation of finite fuzzy sets
(Elsevier, 2018) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; García Catalán, Olga Raquel; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Lizasoain Iriso, María Inmaculada; Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Valero, Óscar; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
A fuzzy set on a finite universe can be interpreted as a vector in a unit cube. This gives rise to a huge variety of approaches in order to aggregate finite fuzzy sets or to modify a given one. We analyze several geometrical methods and discuss possible applications in a multidisciplinary setting.

A mathematical approach to law and deal modelling: legislation and agreements
(MDPI, 2021) Benito Ostolaza, Juan Miguel; Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Estevan Muguerza, Asier; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
Social norms are a set of rules to be followed by the people of a community in order to have a better coexistence, to which the behaviors, tasks, and activities of the human being must be adjusted. The set or system of norms, rules, or duties regulates the actions of individuals among themselves. This work presents a new and original approach to the situations of agreement as well as to the constructions of regulations. This is done by giving a mathematical formalization to the set of all possible agreements or regulations, so that, then, the proximity between them is defined by means of a premetric. Thanks to this mathematical structure that tries to capture the problematic of agreements and modifications of regulations, some currently issues related to game theory or law are now reduced to mathematical optimization problems.

On the structure of acyclic binary relations
(Springer, 2018) Rodríguez Alcantud, José Carlos; Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Candeal, Juan Carlos; García Catalán, Olga Raquel; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Matematika; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
We investigate the structure of acyclic binary relations from different points of view. On the one hand, given a nonempty set we study real-valued bivariate maps that satisfy suitable functional equations, in a way that their associated binary relation is acyclic. On the other hand, we consider acyclic directed graphs as well as their representation by means of incidence matrices. Acyclic binary relations can be extended to the asymmetric part of a linear order, so that, in particular, any directed acyclic graph has a topological sorting.

Scores of hesitant fuzzy elements revisited: "Was sind und was sollen"
(Elsevier, 2023) Alcantud, José Carlos R.; Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Munárriz Iriarte, Ana; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE
This paper revolves around the notion of score for hesitant fuzzy elements, the constituent parts of hesitant fuzzy sets. Scores allow us to reduce the level of uncertainty of hesitant fuzzy sets to classical fuzzy sets, or to rank alternatives characterized by hesitant fuzzy information. We propose a rigorous and normative definition capable of encapsulating the characteristics of the most important scores introduced in the literature. We systematically analyse different types of scores, with a focus on coherence properties based on cardinality and monotonicity. The hesitant fuzzy elements considered in this analysis are unrestricted. The inspection of the infinite case is especially novel. In particular, special attention will be paid to the analysis of hesitant fuzzy elements that are intervals.

A survey on the mathematical foundations of axiomatic entropy: representability and orderings
(MDPI, 2018) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Ciencias
Different abstract versions of entropy, encountered in science, are interpreted in the light of numerical representations of several ordered structures, as total-preorders, interval-orders and semiorders. Intransitivities, other aspects of entropy as competitive systems, additivity, etc., are also viewed in terms of representability of algebraic structures endowed with some compatible ordering. A particular attention is paid to the problem of the construction of an entropy function or their mathematical equivalents. Multidisciplinary comparisons to other similar frameworks are also discussed, pointing out the mathematical foundations.

Topologies for semicontinuous Richter–Peleg multi-utilities
(Springer, 2020) Bosi, Gianni; Estevan Muguerza, Asier; Raventós Pujol, Armajac; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas
The present paper gives a topological solution to representability problems related to multi-utility, in the field of Decision Theory. Necessary and sufficient topologies for the existence of a semicontinuous and finite Richter–Peleg multi-utility for a preorder are studied. It is well known that, given a preorder on a topological space, if there is a lower (upper) semicontinuous Richter–Peleg multi-utility, then the topology of the space must be finer than the Upper (resp. Lower) topology. However, this condition fails to be sufficient. Instead of search for properties that must be satisfied by the preorder, we study finer topologies which are necessary or/and sufficient for the existence of semicontinuous representations. We prove that Scott topology must be contained in the topology of the space in case there exists a finite lower semicontinuous Richter–Peleg multi-utility. However, the existence of this representation cannot be guaranteed. A sufficient condition is given by means of Alexandroff’s topology, for that, we prove that more order implies less Alexandroff’s topology, as well as the converse. Finally, the paper is implemented with a topological study of the maximal elements.

Weightable quasi-metrics related to fuzzy sets
(Hacettepe University (Turquía), 2018) Campión Arrastia, María Jesús; García Catalán, Olga Raquel; Induráin Eraso, Esteban; Valero, Óscar; Matematika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Matemáticas; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
We show that the definition of a fuzzy set is directly related to the existence of a weightable quasi-metric on a universe. This relationship is also explored in terms of functional equations coming either from the membership function of a fuzzy set or from the disymmetry function of a quasi-metric.
